Mugen MBX7 1/8 Nitro Offroad buggy

Mugen Seiki have announced the release of the MBX7 1/8 Nitro Offroad buggy. The Mugen design team had a goal to increase corner speed, increase traction, low the center of gravity and to lighten up the whole drive train and the end result is the MBX7. Mugen concentrated on creating a buggy that would carry natural corner speed with newly designed front upper/lower suspension, The rear suspension was designed to create more traction and smooth action through bumps, jumps and whatever else the buggy attacks with shorter rear suspension arms, fully adjustable anti-squat and toe in bushings. New front shocks and shock springs control the suspension on the front of the buggy while newly designed shock angles keep the rear suspension hooked up to the surface.

Core RC progressive big bore springs

Core RC have released new progressive big bore springs for 1/10th Off Road. These high quality precision made springs allow the car to float over bumps but not roll too much during cornering. The consistent wire diameter means that the characteristics of each spring in the line-up is similar, giving a consistent performance across the range. The spring stiffness increment between springs is very small, allowing fine adjustment of the suspension. Also to enable the big bore springs to be used on small bore shocks they have released 2 optional converters for the top of the spring, enabling better seating of the spring. The bottom of the spring fits regular small bore shock bottoms.

Avid 12mm spring cups & shock pistons

Avid introduces their new Avert aluminium spring cups for the new 12mm Team Associated big-bore shocks. Avid made a smaller 3mm slot and tighter fit over the shock eyelet to keep the spring cups secure and prevent shock shafts from pulling out of the plastic shock end. These spring cups add extra security to your ride without sacrificing weight or putting a huge dent in your racing budget. Also from Avid is their lineup of machined 12mm shock piston sets. The goal of these pistons was to reduce the oil blow-by on the outside of the piston and to tune the damping with the piston valving. They represent Avid’s latest development concept which helps tune high speed and low speed damping separately. Their test drivers found that these pistons help provide the traction and bump handling of running lighter shock oil or larger piston holes, while still maintaining the control of running heavier oil or smaller hole piston when taking on jumps.

Yokomo B-MAX2 MR EP buggy

New from Yokomo, the latest evolution of the B-MAX2 now allows the rear gear box to be mounted in either mid-ship or rear-motor configuration. An increasing number of races are being held on high grip surfaces such as carpet or artificial grass and the mid-ship configuration allows a more centralized weight distribution which dramatically improves handling and cornering speed. The rear-motor configuration is more conducive for common dirt off-road running surfaces as it provides more optimal traction and coupled with the newly developed cab-forward body shell, the result is a very refined and balanced handling characteristic. And equipped standard with items such as the highly reliable big bore ‘X’ shocks, and the newly designed rear ball differential, the latest kit is ready to take on a variety of racing conditions.
